The former Barcelona and Lyon defender has been a key player since arriving at Chelsea two years ago, when she was one of the first signings made by incoming head coach Sonia Bompastor. That&#8217;s despite the arrival of fellow right-back Ellie Carpenter, with Bronze showing the versatility to play as a centre-back when in the same line-up as the Australia international.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking upon the announcement of her renewal, Bronze said: &#8220;I feel like this is the right thing for me at this time. I\u2019ve really enjoyed the last two years being at Chelsea and back in England and I feel like we&#8217;re in a place now where we&#8217;re moving forward as a club. Added to the move to Stamford Bridge, it\u2019s a really exciting time to be part of the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bronze&#8217;s new one-year contract was announced on Thursday, two days after her previous deal was set to expire.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":521671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[78410,85,46,136013,105,25076,25075],"class_list":["post-521670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-chelsea-fc-women","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-l-bronze","tag-sports","tag-womens-football","tag-wsl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=521670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
